Welcome to the Andrews Tree Services Project Gallery. Here you’ll find real examples of our expert tree care work across Lake County, Marion County & Sumter County Florida, including tree trimming, tree removal, pruning, and hazard mitigation. Every project featured here was performed by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist / TCIA Certified Tree Care Specialist, ensuring that each tree was handled with expert care and attention to detail.
Whether it’s a hazardous tree removal after a storm or precision pruning to restore structure and health, our gallery shows what professional tree services should look like. We specialize in:
Safe and efficient tree removals
Tree trimming to improve structure and safety
Corrective pruning for long-term health
Emergency tree care and storm damage cleanup
Arborist-supervised land clearing and site prep
Each photo tells a story of preserving tree health, improving property safety, and supporting the urban forest canopy in our community. We don’t just cut trees—we care for them.
Poor tree work is easy to spot. That’s why we document our projects—to show the difference a certified arborist makes. From large live oaks to overgrown palms, our team handles every job with safety, science, and respect for your landscape.
Stump Grinding:
Gets rid of those unsightly trip hazards known as tree stumps. Upon request it is possible to grind most stumps deep enough for you to be able to replant in that same location. However if you are planning on building something with a foundation in that are you will want the stump removed.
Hazardous Tree Removal:
This tree was located in Palamora Park and although it may appear small in this photo. The base of this tree had a 40" diameter when measured at four foot from ground level. As you can see here this massive tree was in a very tight spot. The homeowners had cut the roof out around the base some years ago to keep the tree as long as possible. Unfortunately as time kept on the tree outgrew even that measure and ended up starting to crush the roof again. Fortunately Andrews Tree Services has the equipment, training and experience to remove these massive trees that have become hazardous even when there is little to no access.
High Risk Tree Removal:
Removing trees over power lines = no problem. With nearly 3 decades experience ISA Board Certified Master Arborist Chris Andrews has the experience to handle just about any situation. Especially when supplied with the tools of Andrews Tree Services.
When soil, Mulch, Leaves, Rocks or grass is allowed to cover the root crown New roots will grow over the existing main roots and around the main stem of the tree. Over time these new roots will act as a tourniquet restricting the flow of water and nutrients as well as restricting root developement. Left untreated this is a fatal flaw that leads to a slow death from top down or whole tree failure.
Tree Trimming:
Tree Trimming can be done in many different ways and for a variety of reasons. Such as clearance over the home, driveway or lawn. To enhance a view like here in this picture. The best pruning is when these human needs for pruning is done in a manner that also increases structural stability. The most important thing is to ensure you have a clearly defined objective for pruning. Then remove the least amount of foliage possible to achieve said objective.

Earth Day Mount Dora
For several years Andrews Tree Services handed out free trees to attendees along with, children's coloring books about trees, informational brochures for proper mulching techniques, new tree selection and planting, pruning young trees, pruning mature trees, identifying tree risk and many more. We covered 100% of the cost for this project out of pocket as our way to give back to our community, bring awareness of the importance of trees.
Stump Removal:
Stump removal is often preferred when trees are located where a structure is being constructed. Typically stump removal does disturb a large area around the stump so we do not recommend this in existing landscapes unless necessary.
Dualing Bucket Trucks
This project was in Plantations at Leesburg Fl, where we were trasked with removing 7 Oak trees around this home. Perfect project to put both crews on using our Lightweight 45' bucket truck as well as our 55' bucket truck.
Crane Services
This was one miserable project. This mostly dead tree over two homes was completely engulfed in vines including Virginia Creeper which is an irritant!! Slowly and steadily we got her out without incident.
Arborist Reports
ISA Board Certified Master Arborist inspecting a large Live Oak in Leesburg Fl that had multiple failures over and over. The homeowners chose to keep the tree and we were ultimately tased with doing what we could to stop the failures and preserve the tree for future egnerations.
Land Clearing
We have the right equipment to clear a single tree up to 500 acres. Often times we look for ways to reduce the financial burdens on our clients by burning on site this can save a suibstantial amount. Where burning is prohibited we have chipped the brush and left for homeowners to mulch their new landscape beds once construction was complete.
Emergency Tree Services
This large Live Oak tree had failed during Hurricane Milton in Palamora Park in Leesburg Fl. Luckily when it failed it got hung up in the neighboring oak tree, saving a children's playground directly below
